  WORRALL, DAVIDSON, was born in Eastchurch, England, March, 1808, and 
died in Factoryville, Pa., August 23, 1866.  He began his religious 
life in 1833, and was soon appointed class leader and made a local 
preacher.  He filled these positions acceptably until he came to this 
country about 1851.  He settled in Rome, Bradford County, Pa., upon a 
farm.  He was not allowed to work the farm long, as the Church 
discovered his gifts and gave him work to do. In 1852 he supplied as 
junior preacher on Orwell Circuit, and in 1853 joined Wyoming 
Conference on trial.  He had received local deacon's orders before 
joining the Conference, and received elder's orders at the completion 
of his studies in 1857.
  His appointments were as follows:  1853-54, Speedsville; 1855-56, 
Abington; 1857-58, Nicholson; 1859-60, Gibson; 1861-62, Skinner's Eddy; 
1863, Springville; 1864-66, Nicholson.  He left a wife and four sons.
